Abstract
Young people's integration in European countries into the job market has become a serious societal issue,
owing to its long-term influence on life prospects. However, the overall increase in youth unemployment
concerns the European Union (EU), which has initiated several youth-specific policy measures in the previous
decade. Integrating young people into the labor market is a priority for European policymakers and the
European Social Fund. Recent governmental measures, such as the Youth Guarantee, the European
Partnership for Apprenticeships, and Smart Specialization, reflect increased concern and efforts to promote
youth skills, engagement, employability, and enterprises' financing and training capabilities. Therefore, The
study aims to evaluate the policy approaches and their implementations for integrating Youth into the EU labor
market. Following the conceptual research approach, this study reviewed 26 research papers from different
secondary data sources and the authors used their own research experiences and insights to analyze the
contemporary policies for youth integration in European countries. At the same time, this research attempts to
review the impacts of the youth guarantee in EU countries and the financial disparities between policy and
implementation for youth integration in the EU labor market. Finally, some recommendations are added at the
end to improve the situation.
